Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of any investment. There may be limitations to the data provided given limited coverage, reporting lag and different valuation methodologies. Further, private infrastructure funds that are included in the index choose to self-report. Thus, the index is not representative of the entire private infrastructure universe and may be skewed towards those funds that generally have higher performance. Over time, funds included and excluded based on performance, may result a “survivorship bias” that can result in a further misrepresentation of performance.
